The Liberals and the NDP have very clearly tried to change it into something completely different than what it is. That is not acceptable, and I would encourage the Liberals and NDP that, if they feel very strongly about the things that they are bringing up and the ways that they want to change the bill, they move forward with government legislation as quickly as they can. We can have this conversation tomorrow if they choose to.</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"7706576\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, c'est la premi\u00e8re fois que, lorsque j'ai la parole, je me fais interrompre trois fois par des d\u00e9put\u00e9s qui invoquent le R\u00e8glement afin de tenter de retarder le discours que je prononce.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7706577\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai une derni\u00e8re chose \u00e0 dire, un point que j'ai d\u00e9j\u00e0 fait valoir.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7706578\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous d\u00e9battons d'un projet de loi d'int\u00e9r\u00eat public du S\u00e9nat qui rev\u00eat une grande importance pour la s\u00e9natrice l'ayant pr\u00e9sent\u00e9. Or, les lib\u00e9raux et les n\u00e9o\u2011d\u00e9mocrates ont tr\u00e8s clairement tent\u00e9 de le changer en quelque chose de compl\u00e8tement diff\u00e9rent. C'est inacceptable. Si les d\u00e9put\u00e9s de ces deux partis tiennent vraiment \u00e0 apporter les changements qu'ils proposent au projet de loi et \u00e0 faire ce dont ils parlent, je les encourage \u00e0 pr\u00e9senter un projet de loi d\u2019initiative minist\u00e9rielle \u00e0 cette fin le plus rapidement possible. Nous pourrions avoir cette discussion demain s'ils le souhaitent.</p>"
